    I love these tropica exhibitions. Everything is explained so.... professionally. It is always inspirational.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV

    Check Tropica's website, there is a "Layouts" section, where all the layouts are described in details.

    Mark Evans has always been my favorite aquascaper. I regard him as the best aquascaper in the World. This of course is my opinion. Great work Mark!!

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    If you are thinking about the short red plants, it's Alternathera reineckii "Mini". If you are thinking about the plant which is exactly in the middle, the bright-green one, it's Nymphoides sp. Taiwan (but it's not a stemmed plant :) ).

    Wanna say love ur vids and scapes.It nice to put on the headphones listening to the instrumental music on ur scapes, zoning out in amazement.Keep it going with the great vids.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    All tanks were illuminated by T5 daylight fluorescent lamps. Check Tropica.dk website, there are all details provided there (layouts number 53, 52, 51, 50, 49, 48 and 47 :) ).

    @EpexApex 12 років тому

    Thanks for clarifying. It was the Nymphoides sp. Taiwan. I looked for the layout on Tropica but they did not have the one in the video. I eventually saw the plant in 2 other layouts but not as a main focal point as the one in your video. Great Videos!!!
    (Side note: lol I could not describe the plant so i used stem. other than long petiole)

    there are a lot of kinds of people. two of them are the one who appreciates and the other who do not.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    Indeed, there were no CO2s during the show - but the plants were pregrown long time before the exhibition, and of course there was a lot of CO2 added during that time. Check Tropica's website, "Layout" sub-section, there are all the tanks shown in my video, with detailed description.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    The one at 0:30? Ludwigia repens "Rubin" - it's written on the "plant map" shown before the aquarium, didn't you notice that? I filmed these maps ony for this purpose - to show people what species of plants are where in these aquariums.

    Visit Tropica's website and go to Layouts, every data is there! :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    It's Hemianthus callitrichoides "Cuba", and some Eleocharis sp. "Mini" in the corners. Check 2:04 - there is a map and list of all plants, just switch to 720p and go Fullscreen, you'll be able to see all these small letters. Aquarium plants will grow well even using "standard" 865 and 950 T8 fluorescent tubes. But there are also numerous lamps designed specially for plants, like Flora-GLO by Hagen.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    Yup :) Nice colors, together with this red plant in the middle :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    It's Nymphoides sp. Taiwan. Check my other video "Aquarium Ideas from InterZoo 2012 - Tropica (pt. 9)", at 04:19 - you can clearly see informations below the aquarium.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Thanks! :) As for the levitating moss-balls, I think they are just fragments of styrofoam, wrapped in moss and growed for some time.

    i love your videos also the relaxing background music... but what i ask myself, how do they transport all these finished planted tanks to the interzoo without destroying these layouts...?

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    1:33 - 130x55x55 cm, Tropica layout no 48 (check their website!). 3:00 - 130x50x50 cm, layout no 50. 3:57 - 130x55x55 cm, layout no 52.

  • @AquaTerraNursery
    @AquaTerraNursery 11 років тому

    Johnny, most of these tanks have inline CO2 reactors hooked up to filter return hose.

    Thank you very much! It is just its so hard to find plants like those here in Canada. I don't know why...

    Great, I'm happy to hear that :)

  • @Bloodworm77

    Good inspiration! What is le light used over those tanks? I really like it.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    It's not like "fish is having problems with its vision", it's like "You have problem with providing your fish with the right type of food", mate. Do the flakes sink after a while, or they will just float, even if very wet?

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Hey mate, the music is called "Malaysian skies", and is available from royalty-free.tv :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Hey mate, thanks for your kind words! :) All these aquascapes are not "mine" - I mean, I didn't make them :) I only filmed them, they were arranged by several aquascapers from the UK.

    First of all. Great job! Beautiful! I have one question duh? How often do you feed the fish? Or do you feed the fish?

  • @turevus
    @turevus 12 років тому

    yes it is cool! Any ideas what plants are these? the carpet one I believe is so called Cubae- what are the others on/around the rocks?

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Apparently there are some deficiencies in fertilization. This is probably the reason why you're getting algae - one of the nutrients for the plants is lacking, but others are available. The plants can't consume them, becasue they are restricted by the one which is missing, so algae took advantage of this, and started growing better. Unfortunately, I have no idea what nutrient is missing. Try forums like "Planted Tank Net", there are lots of helpful experts there :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Hey, do you know it? I didn't ask Tropica's people at the booth, so I don't know anything about CO2 supplementation in those tanks...

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    What kind of grass do you mean? There are at least two different species used in these tanks - what tank do you think of? What time of the video?

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Wht do you mean "the name"? The name of the manufacturer of the aquarium? Or what...? Anyway, all technical details of this tank are availabel at Tropica's website, in "Layouts" section. This tank has number 53.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    Tell you what - go to 02:05, switch to 720p HD mode, and go Fullscreen. There is a map of all plants, with plant names. You will find all infos on this map.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV

    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    Well, most people find big fish more attractive than small fish. I noticed it many times during fairs or aquarium exhibitions - a large crowd always stands in front of any arowana aquarium, whereas only experts can appreciate tanks with small fish :)

    At the moment I have two videos showing how to set up a planted tank. They are about nanoaquarium, but still there are some useful infos there. Check my videos entitled "Setting up planted nano aquarium - timelapse", and "Aquascaping - How to make trees in planted aquarium" (uploaded 23.05.2013 and 30.05.2013, respectively :) ).

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 років тому

    Well, not that difficult as it seems :) You just remove all the water, cover the layout with pieces of plastic foil, to avoid drying out, put the aquarium on some sort of flat, rigid surface, and that's it :) The smaller the aquarium the easier it can be done :) Of course I don't know if Tropica is doing it like this, but I know what other people do :) It also depends on the layout - if there is mostly driftwood overgrown by moss all you need for transportation is some plastic buckets :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV

    Myriophyllu mattogrossense "Red", Hydrocotyle tripartita, Ammania sp. "Bonsai", Eleocharis sp. "Mini". Lista jest podana na tablicy informacyjnej którą widać od 1:39 do 1:47. Po to te tablice filmowałem. Wystarczy się przełączyć na 720p i wrzucić Fullscreen, i wszystko jest doskonale czytelne.

    "since in reality we don't try to spent 3 hour in the bush, emphasizing what's going on in a certain spot in the grass in the bottom part of a tree trunk" - well, as a matter of fact - I do :) Not on land, but underwater. Two years ago I spent 3 weeks in Egypt, filming one and the same spot of the reef. Check my video "Marine aquarium fish in natural habitat - coral reef, Red Sea" (uploaded 19 Feb 2012)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 років тому

    So you mean that recreating nature is not "art", because land sceneries which are being recreated in aquariums are not "interesting" on land? Another words - a fragment of root on land is "just" a root, and nobody cares for it, but once the scene is recreated in aquarium, everybody start to admire it? Saying "Wow, this is so wonderful fragment of nature", whereas in reality they wouldn't pay any attention to a similar scene on land?
